How do you deal with waves of sadness?

Hiya everyone, its been ages since ive been on here. 


I thought I would ask a question about when going either through depressive episodes or waves of sadness.


Currently in my situation I'm going through the motions of a big wave of sadness as well as feeling very alone, there is another person in the house but I am not able to approach them with vunrabiliteis due to the way they treat it.


I am aware that the reason I am going through this wave is due to physical aspects such as feeling tired, not drinking enough water etc. as well as a mass of stuff that I've been experiencing for a very long time. 


In an ideal scenario I really want to call a friend right now and feel connected to someone but due to how late it is here, it wouldn't be fair to call them at this time. I may call a helpline just to talk to someone, that usually helps me.


What do you guys do to deal with waves of sadness?

I gently lean into the sadness and ride the wave. The waves often take me surprising places. Even when they don't, they pass smoother when I work with them instead of fighting them.

A post something like this one often helps me process the sadness.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
